The transition from United/Dynacare Laboratories to Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories is now complete. Special thanks to all of our clients for your continued support!

ICD-10 is here.Are you ready?

The government change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 diagnosis coding will occur October 1, 2015. Please remember to complete your business plans for managing this significant change by September 30, 2015

Remember, the ICD-10-CM is not an update to the ICD-9-CM code set, and there is no simple mapping or translation from the current ICD-9 to the new ICD-10 codes.
Providing the appropriate ICD-10 code(s) will allow us to seamlessly continue supporting the services you request and to timely submit claims to third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid.
Missing codes, codes lacking the highest level of specificity, and nonspecific narratives will require follow-up for clarification, leading to unnecessary delays resulting in more work for your staff. Additionally, your office may be billed for the testing.

Standing Orders: If you have patients with standing orders, those orders must also be updated with the correct ICD-10 code(s).
